1. Under most Holden's ( and even Fords ) you will usually find a rod
which links the T-bar selector in your centre consul to the side of the
transmission housing . Not so on Camaro's using a TH350, TH400 or even
a TH700 . They all use a cable , and like most cables they fray and stretch
, plus generally snap .

2. This is one of those jobs you need to be both under and inside
the car ( a caring other half makes some tasks easier ) .
New cable comes greased , but never hurts to add more prior in installation
.
Safety first , place front end of car on ramps and chock wheels so
there wont be a need to call ambulance later .

3. Remove centre consul , keep digging until you finally find the gear
selector and other mechanisms . On the right hand side of gearshift you
will find the inhibitor switch ( stops you starting your beast in gear
and driving through garage door ) , this may need moving out of way to
allow access to auto shift cable .

4. The end of cable is held in place by a split pin , once
removed store and save small pin . Slide out locking tab which holds outer
cable to the transmission tunnel , large screw driver to lever clip out
helps here , again save clip . Finally remove small screws ( X 2 ) that
hold the rubber gasket and supporting plate in position .

5. Now comes the fun stuff , under the car . Best done with a good piece
of carpet to lay on . Slide along until you find where auto shift cable
hooks up with transmission .Another split pin needs to be removed to free
inner cable , as well as another clip to slide out to release outer cable
from bracket attached to sump pan.

6. Now comes the part where you need to be very
pleasant to your better half , who you recently offered to make a cup of
tea and do the dishes tonight . The reason .will it's a lot easier
to remove old cable , and feed in new cable with one person in the car ,
and you underneath .Cable can come out either way , to avoid a hassle with
getting the rubber gasket through hole , pull out and insert new cable through
from inside the car .

7. Replace new cable the same way the old one was mounted with a new
split pin . If you have moved selector or gear shift lever , make sure
all are in " Park " , then cable ends should line up with
original positions

8. Fear not you're nearly done , once a everything is done up underneath
, you can slide out from under car and repeatedly thank your assistant
for helping . Replace clip on outer cable to lock into place using small
taps . Reposition rubber gasket and hold down using plate with 2 small
screws , and yes I know its hard to find them when dropped .

9. Re-install pin with new split pin on inner end of cable
to gear shift mechanism , and with luck all should line up . Move selector
forwards and backwards to check detent points still line up , and don't
forget to put inhibitor switch back into operation .

10. If all has gone well , and you didn't lose your temper or
insult you better half , check operation of cable with car started
and your foot firmly applied to brake pedal before putting centre
consul back together . If it doesn't work and you did scream at
your other half now is a good time to think about adding a blanket
to that carpet and making a comfortable bed , while under there
you can allow adjustment on the trunnion ( Z shaped bracket that
inner cable attaches to ) using a 9/16 spanner to release , this
will give you 10mm movement either way
